Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a spouting stopper, and more particularly to a spouting stopper that selectively takes out a liquid in the form of a mist or foam from a container containing the liquid.

[Conventional technology]

For example, the liquid cleaning solution used for glass cleaning etc. can be sprayed in the form of foam or mist, depending on the area of the glass surface to be cleaned and the degree of contamination, or the spraying method can be changed as appropriate. It is considered preferable.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, conventionally, many of these types of pouring stoppers for dispensing liquid can only be used to discharge the liquid in the container either in the form of mist or in the form of foam.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare two types of spouting caps in advance and replace them as necessary, or to prepare two types of containers with two types of spouting caps from the beginning, which improves work efficiency. It was my fault.

Furthermore, the cap itself is provided with multiple spouts, and the cap can be rotated as needed, or the cap can be swung to communicate one of the two types of spouts with the inside of the container. Techniques for selectively dispensing an amount of liquid, etc., are also known.

However, the conventional technique has poor operability because it is necessary to use both hands to rotate the cap, such as holding the container body with one hand while rotating the cap with the other hand.

In addition, with the technique of selecting the spout hole by swinging the cap, the spout hole itself also swings, making it impossible to identify the area to be poured, and the cap being large to realize the swing mechanism. There were drawbacks such as the appearance of the paper becoming unattractive.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to enable the liquid in the container to be poured out in the form of foam or mist depending on the purpose of use, and to
It is an object of the present invention to provide a spout tap that can be extremely easily switched with one hand and has a good appearance.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a container 1.
A through hole 4 that communicates with the inside of the container 1 is formed in the stopper body 3 that is attached to the opening 2 of the body.
A support shaft 8 is provided at the base end of the nozzle 7 in which a spouting passage 11 is formed, which communicates with the nozzle 7. It has a rotatable structure.

This nozzle 7 is covered with a cover body 16 having an arcuate cross section, and the spouting path 11 of the nozzle 7 is
A lever 10 that is protruded from the side of the cover body 16 and can be rotated together with the nozzle 7 is made to protrude from the surface of the cover body 16, so that the nozzle 7 can be directly rotated by operating the lever 10.

Furthermore, a spray hole 22 and a bubble hole 23 are formed in the cover body 16 to selectively communicate with the spouting passage 11 of the nozzle 7 when the nozzle 7 rotates, and a mesh body 24 is attached to the bubble hole 23. Further, the proximal end is located at the bottom of the container 1, and the distal end is located in the through hole 4.
A spouting pipe 25 is provided which is inserted through the spouting pipe 25 and connected to the spouting path 11 of the nozzle 7.

[Effect]

According to the above-described means, when the lever 10 is rotated, the nozzle 7 is also rotated together, and the spout passage 11 thereof is communicated with either the spray hole 22 or the bubble hole 23 . Therefore, mist-like dispensing and foam-like dispensing can be selectively achieved very easily simply by operating the lever with one hand.

Furthermore, according to the above-described means, since the cap (cover body 16) is not structured to directly rotate or swing, the appearance of the cap is not deteriorated due to functional restrictions for rotation and swing. The overall appearance of the spout can be improved. Moreover, since the positions of the spray holes 22 and the bubble holes 23 are always fixed on the surface of the cover body 16, the liquid can be stably supplied to a specific portion such as the glass surface.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In this embodiment, a stopper body 3 is screwed into an opening 2 of a flexible synthetic resin container 1 containing a liquid such as a glass cleaning liquid.

A through hole 4 communicating with the inside of the container 1 is formed in the center of the plug main body 3, and a bearing 5 is provided on the plug main body 3 so as to surround the through hole 4.
The inner bottom surface of the bearing 5 is an arcuate concave surface, and bearing holes 6 are formed on both sides of the bearing 5 so as to face each other.

The base end of the nozzle 7 is rotatably supported by the bearing 5. That is, this nozzle 7 is formed into a rod shape, and its base end is formed in an arc shape corresponding to the inner bottom surface of the bearing 5 and is in sliding contact with the inner bottom surface of the bearing 5, and both side surfaces of the base end Support shafts 8 which are rotatably inserted into and supported by the bearings 6 of the bearings 5 are respectively protrudingly provided.

In addition, a tongue-shaped lever 9 is attached to the tip of this nozzle 7.
is provided protrudingly, and the edge of this lever 9 is provided with knurls 10 to prevent slipping.

Furthermore, a spouting path 11 passing through the axis of this nozzle 7
The proximal opening 12 of the spouting passage 11 is connected to the through hole 4, and the distal end face of the nozzle 7, in which the distal opening 13 of the spouting passage 11 is formed, is connected to the through hole 4. Arc surface 1 along the rotation trajectory
It's becoming 4.

The nozzle 7 thus formed is covered with a cover body 16 having an arcuate cross section and a fitting portion 15 that fits into the plug body 3. This cover body 16
is a dome portion 19 consisting of a curved wall 17 having a curvature corresponding to the rotation locus of the nozzle 7 and walls 18 on both sides of the curved wall 17;
is formed in the upper part of the fitting part 15, and a slit 20 is formed in the curved wall 17 and is elongated in the direction of curvature, and the lever 9 of the nozzle 7 projects outside from this slit 20. .

The nozzle 7 is installed on the inner surface of the top of the curved wall 17.
An arcuate protrusion 21 that engages and disengages from the distal end opening 13 of the spouting passage 11 formed in the is protrudingly provided, and this arcuate protrusion 2
A spray hole 22 and a bubble hole 23 are formed in the curved wall 17 along one end side and the other end side of the slit 20 with the slit 20 in between.

Furthermore, a net-like body 24 made of mesh or foam is attached to the bubble outlet 23.

A spouting tube 25 is inserted into the container 1, and the spouting tube 25 is made of a flexible material, with its base end located at the bottom of the container 1, and its tip end located at the bottom of the container 1. It passes through the through hole 4 and is inserted into the spouting path 11 of the nozzle 7, and its outer diameter is equal to the spouting path 1.
It is formed smaller than the inner diameter of 1.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When not in use, the nozzle 7 is held upright and the arcuate protrusion 21 of the cover body 16 fits into the tip end opening 13 of the spouting passage 11 to close it, thereby preventing the glass cleaning liquid in the container 1 from coming out. .

When, for example, the cleaning liquid is to be sprayed over a wide area on the glass surface to be cleaned, the nozzle 7 is moved to the spray hole 2 by operating the lever 9.
2 side to connect the spouting passage 11 and the spray hole 22.

To operate the lever at this time, for example, the lever 9 may be rotated by pressing the inner part of the finger against the knurl 10 of the lever 9 so as to tilt the lever 9 in any direction. Such an operation can be performed with only one hand by holding the main body of the container 1 with the palm and index finger to little finger and operating the lever with the thumb.

Next, when the container 1 is squeezed and crushed by hand, the pressure causes the glass cleaning liquid to rise inside the spouting pipe 25, mixing with the air spewing out from between the spouting pipe 25 and the inner wall of the spouting passage 11, From there, through the spray holes 22, the mist is vigorously ejected to the outside.

In addition, when spraying cleaning liquid on a specific area that is not very large or on a highly contaminated surface, operate the lever 9 to rotate the nozzle 7 toward the bubble outlet 23 and connect the spout passage 11 and the bubble outlet. It communicates with the hole 23.
The lever operation at this time can also be done with one hand, as described above. Then, crush the container 1 by hand in the same manner as above.
Then, the glass cleaning liquid is ejected from the bubble outlet 23, but since the mesh body 24 is attached to the bubble outlet 23, when the glass cleaning liquid is passed through this,
It gushes out in the form of foam. Therefore, the glass cleaning liquid is not scattered over a wide area, but is sprayed only on specific areas.

Note that the present invention is not limited to spraying glass cleaning liquid, but can also be used for spraying paints, chemicals, etc.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the liquid in the container can be selectively dispensed into either a mist or foam state depending on the purpose of use, and this switching can be done with one hand and extremely easily. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a spout stopper that can be used for a variety of purposes and has a good appearance.
